Zinwave Ltd., a player in next-generation in-building cellular and wireless technology, has claimed that its True Wideband active Distributed Antenna System solution is the first on the market to receive Long Term Evolution certification across the full 700 MHz spectrum band from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.

 

This marks a significant milestone in Zinwave’s LTE (News - Alert) strategy and the wireless industry’s progress toward rolling out 4G networks.

 

Officials with Zinwave (News - Alert) said that the company provides the industry’s only True Wideband active DAS solution which removes many of the traditional challenges associated with delivering multiple RF services in buildings.

 

According to company officials, it provides simultaneous support for any number or combination of cellular and other wireless services between 136MHz and 2.7GHz using one single layer of hardware, enabling the addition of new services on demand without the need for costly and disruptive upgrades.

 

“Achieving this important LTE milestone reinforces Zinwave’s technology leadership and sets us on a clear path to capitalize on near-term LTE network deployments,” said Jeffery L. Fuller, president of Zinwave Americas, in a statement.

 

Fuller said that with FCC (News - Alert) certification, the company can help wireless operators accelerate the roll-out of LTE networks and provide ubiquitous wireless coverage inside buildings for multiple simultaneous services and technologies.

 

Company officials said that Zinwave’s patented technology provides a future-proof investment for wireless operators, by allowing them to deploy in-building DAS solutions today on existing 3G/Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks, with a simple evolutionary path to 4G/LTE in the future.

 

Recently Zinwave announced that it has partnered with Pacific Wave Pte Ltd, one of Asia’s wireless product distributors.

 

With bases in Singapore and Indonesia, Pacific Wave further strengthens Zinwave’s presence in Asia. This partnership is driven by significant demand in the Asian markets for Zinwave’s unique active Distributed Antenna System.
